Inhalation Hazard
Welding/Plasma Cutting Produces TOXIC FUMES and GASSES.
Exposure to welding or cutting gasses can increase the risk of
developing certain cancers, such as cancer of the larynx and
lung cancer. Also, some diseases that may be linked to exposure
to welding or plasma cutting gasses or fumes are:
• Early onset of Parkinson’s Disease • Heart Disease
• Damage to the reproductive organs • Ulcers
• Inammation of the small intestine or stomach • Kidney damage
• Respiratory diseases such as emphysema, bronchitis or pneumonia
Safety precautions, such as using natural or forced air ventilation and
wearing an ANSI approved respirator, are ESSENTIAL to reduce the
risk of developing the above illnesses.
Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact glasses and a NIOSH-approved dust
mask or respirator under a properly shaded welding face shield along with heavy-
duty work gloves when using the Stud Welder. Using personal safety devices
reduce the risk for injury.
Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure
there is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of ob-
structions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use a power tool in areas

plugging in the Stud Welder.
Never leave the Stud Welder unattended when it is plugged into an electrical
outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving the
